About 300 people gathered at Performance Works, Granville Island, on Tuesday, Oct. 1, to explore how the arts – film, music, dance, etc. – contribute to climate action and IMPACT across generations. They engaged with thought-provoking short films, creative workshops, and took part in letter-writing campaign to political leaders. The day was co-sponsored by several Vancouver environmental and community groups.
The day was co-sponsored by SPEC (Society Promoting Environmental Conservation – the oldest environmental group in Canada) and several other Vancouver environmental and community groups.
Since its inception, the Suzuki Elders have initiated many projects to engage and educate the public about environmental issues. The end result/hope is for individuals to feel inspired to make use of the many solutions that exist and to encourage political leaders to take focused action to support biodiversity and decrease emissions throughout the world.
